I am just trying to design my CP. How many Games use more than 3 buttons? |
| Ginsu Victim:
You can rule out almost all fighting games. 8-way or 4-way stick? |
| Avinitlarge:
8 way stick. If I need 6 button, I will have to use 6 buttons. Just wondered if I could get away with 3 |
| Ginsu Victim:
Pretty much. If you can't care less about fighting games, I'd go four buttons minimum. |
| Beretta:
quite a lot of games use 3 or less, thats the jamma standard. although that did'nt stop a lot of games coming out with more then 3 and using their own harness for the buttons. like was said you can basically write off almost all fighting games, including most neo geo (fighters) http://maws.mameworld.info/maws/ says 4 buttons = 517 "unique (clones excluded)" games say 5 buttons = 101 says 6 buttons = 343 so sticking with 3 buttons you'll be able to play majority of games but you'll be missing out on almost 1000 others. it also depends on what other controls youre gonna use, not many 4 way games need more then 3 buttons.. for example.. also most vertical games dont use more then 4. so it really depends on the overall setup your going after rather or not you need more then 3 or 4 or what ever. i think it's safe to say that most people go with a 8 way 6 button layout because this covers more games then any other single setup. |
